(195 posts)They can't handle that kind of diet. And when you buy cat food, be absolutely sure to avoid brands that are high carb or contain grains. I always fed my cats standard cat food until one of them developed diabetes. He's off insulin now because we've been able to control it through diet, but it's cheaper - not to mention so much better for the cat - to feed them quality food from the beginning so as to avoid health problems. By the way, the diabetic cat always preferred dry kibble to canned cat food until he was diagnosed, at which time I had to switch him away from the grain-heavy regular brands. He learned to enjoy the better cat food in about a week. He looked miserable during the diet change, like I'd taken his favorite junk food away.
